Low carb recipe: Coconut Cream Pie (with chocolate crust)

Coconut Cream Pie with Chocolate Crust.

I think it needs refinement, more and firmer topping (probably doubled amount), so may have to resort to adding gelatin(e). Tastes great though and the crust is good; possibly good enough to consider making cheesecake with it using salted butter instead of coconut oil.

Definitely worth an investigation, yes. I was re-thinking this today and thought maybe it could go more cheese-cakey and I could add peanut butter into the base (trust me, we had some of the basic pie with peanut butter last night and it rocked!), double the quantity of the topping by mixing in cream cheese and then topping with a thin spread of pureed blueberry.
